I have only dipped in and out of the podcast - did Holly & Bridget want to visit Hef as he was dying?
Loool your icon.
Holly less so, but increasingly between guests on the podcast it’s becoming apparent there was a real shift in the mansion dynamic when Crystal took her spot both in terms of how fun things were and how welcoming it was. Like HH had always welcome exes, especially the most recent ones, likely to keep them cute/quiet. Holly has said (and I’m a Patreon subscriber so this might be from there) how HH must have been so confused as to why everyone had abandoned him before he’d died. The funeral (as per Crystal’s book) was super small too, doesn’t sound as if the sons or their mum even attended. Bridget had tried to visit both Mary and HH and was blocked from both, Crystal has since come out and said HH never asked after Bridget and how Crystal wouldn’t have had the power to block her from coming up anyway.
On the Patreon episode this week Bridget mentions visiting the grave (by chance, not a dedicated visit) and they both said they’d like to go there but wouldn’t want to be seen there. Which is the most open to seeing HH post book Holly has ever been? Bridget said she felt uncomfortable being there and her mum pointed out it was probably the result of feeling like she wasn’t “allowed” at the mansion. (Source: Patreon).
Sorry for essay I’m so fascinated by this dynamic/the legacy of playboy lmao so read a lot on it/consume a ton of content 🫣
ETA - to make up for disclosing Patreon content I will say it’s gotten very juicy the last month or two since Crystal’s book, they’re not constantly at her but I think the book coming out and a lot of people side eyeing Crystal & her conduct has empowered them a bit more? Like they’ve drawn a line under the possibility of them ever getting along now.
